A credit note

More about this

The reasons: a closure, the child left, an overpayment, fee subsidy approved, a CWELCC adjustment, a mistake on the invoice, or something else (say what). The memo is printed on the credit note ("Closed October 14 for a water main break"). A second credit for the same lines asks why it is another one.

With "The child left" chosen on an invoice with a base fee, the dialog says to record the child's last day and use "Credit and redraft" instead: the new draft bills the days of care up to that day by the centre's part-month rule. A credit by the days missed can differ from it by a few dollars, and the books' checks then list the invoice.

A credit note has its own number and prints like an invoice. What it credits becomes the family's credit when the invoice was already paid, and the next invoice uses it first.
